[www] Server finally moved
Posted: Sat Sep 19, 2020 7:30 pm
After several successful years of procrastination I received another bill for the hosting for the old server this nudged the amount I've paid over the past 8 years to about £3k. Money which is probably better spent on buying new hardware to support, or food.
Enough, is enough. So I've spent quite a lot of time over the past week setting up a cheaper replacement and upgrading through multiple forum software/versions to here - I think most of the posts have come across: I can see some of the nightly emails and commit messages have got lost along the way but I don't think that's too much of concern.
[edit]Missing posts are from the mailing lists where there was no match between the list username and a forum username. I'm going to figure out a way to reimport them. - 2020-10-10: Missing posts re-imported, everything should now be present.
If you have an account you should be able to login with your old password - they were automatically converted. To login you'll need to reset your password since it seems that they weren't migrated.
As a note, I've temporarily disabled registration after this initial migration until I get the right magic to deter the spambots. 2020-10-06: Open again, lets see how it goes
Some things will be broken of course, let me know and I'll endeavour to fix them.
